New petition would block public health mandates February 18th |
A campaign to limit Unalaska officials power to require mask-wearing and other public health measures is one step closer to heading to the ballot box.
The city issued a pair of petitions last week that seek to amend two sections of the Unalaska Code of Ordinances. The measures would restrict the powers of the City Council, the city manager and the director of emergency preparedness during an epidemic. We feel that the local City Council has consistently issued resolutions that are completely inconsistent with our values and way of life and rights as Americans, said Jeff Manns, a retired Alaska State Trooper and one of the primary sponsors of the petitions.
Jesse Crumbley takes trophy in Kotzebue-Kiana sled race February 18th |
Sunshine and one of the mildest days of the month greeted the more than 30 sled racers who took to the snow to travel the 175-mile-loop between Kotzebue and Kiana on Saturday.
Jesse Crumbley took home the overall winner trophy with a race time of 1 hour, 59:36 minutes racing in the 600plus liquid-open class.
For his efforts, Crumbley took home a $1,250 purse, plus $3,250 for winning his class. He was helped by his brother, Chris Collins.
The win is a victory for the brother duo, who raced together last year in the Iron Dog, but had to scratch after Crumbley suffered a crash outside of Kiana. While his brother has competed in prior Iron Dogs, 2020 was Crumbley s first attempt.
